Border skirmishes escalate between Russia and Ukraine.

Anti-Putin Russian nationals aligned with the Ukrainian army claimed responsibility for an attack in Russia's Belgorod region, causing damage to several buildings. The Ukrainian government acknowledged the operation but insisted the units were acting independently. The Kremlin said it was fighting a group of saboteurs and working to push out the Ukrainian sabotage and reconnaissance group from the territory of the Russian Federation. This marks the first time Ukrainian-aligned forces have launched a cross-border land operation against Russian targets, according to CNN.
